Comment

At an altitude of 500 m, the citadel of Sisteron overlooks the town of Sisteron, situated on a passageway between the Dauphiné and Provence and the Durance. Built on a rocky spur, it's the first thing you see when you enter the town. The citadel, with its fortifications, was a strategic lock on the route from the Alps to the Mediterranean. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citadelle_de_Sisteron
